Bow tank vs saddle bags
which is better for weight distribution, getting the boat out of the water, etc etc?
IMO if it's a race boat you want the tank in the center and if it's not a race boat it's personal preference. marcsrollin has a bow tank and he likes it for several reasons: it uses normally waisted space, it leaves more interior room, has less parts to break/go wrong than 2 seperate tanks, uhmmm...
Does a family/weekend boat really need that extra .02 in a 1/4 mile race?
Bow tanks add more weight to the bow, possibly making the boat handle wakes better, possibly getting out of the hole slower, possibly helping to keep the bow down at high speed, uhmmm...
